College and Career Group Christmas Party

Tonight we finished off our Christmas celebrations with our annual College and Career Group Christmas party.  All of these amazing people were there.

We enjoyed some delicious appetizers.

And I can't tell you how much fun it was

hanging out with

and catching up with

these pretty amazing

friends.

We love them.

As is our tradition, we read through the Christmas story.  We continued to reflect of the life changing event that was found in the birth of Jesus.

And then we shared.  We reflected on the great things that we were a part of this year and the great things that we look forward to in the coming year.  It was pretty awesome catching up with everyone and having them share their hearts.  We have known some of these students for almost ten years.  We've been able to see them learn and grow and it's been an incredible blessing to be a part of their lives.

They are pretty amazing and we are so proud of them and all that they are doing.

After our devotion time, we played our traditional Yankee Swap Christmas game.

It was pretty intriguing.

Mostly, it was a fun way to share presents

and have fun.

There were a few well sought after gifts.

The top ones included candy,

His and Hers matching Jesus watches, 

And this Coach purse.

All in all we had an incredible time, celebrating Christmas and the end of a pretty incredible year.  

I'm pretty excited to see all of the great things that will come to this group in 2013.  Each and everyone of them is such a blessing to us and we know that God has great things in store for them.
